YAC (Yet another cleaner) ????
Anyone use or hear anything about YAC. Some reviews I have found say it's the best: others say stay away. Free PC cleaner , speed booster, scanner etc. Not to sure...... thanks jim

I wouldn't trust any all in one cleaner, speed booster, etc. Most of these type of programs are "snake oil."
If you are using Windows 7, contrary to popular belief the registry does not need to be cleaned, compacted or anything else. As said by Bill.Satellite Free CCleaner works very well for normal cleaning needs, however using the registry cleaner should be left alone unless you really know what you are doing.
Free Malwarebytes is an excellent malware remover. Download install, decline the free trial in the installation, update and run. You will have to manually update the free version before each use.
I don't know what your intent is as to boosting speed. However if it's booting then you can do this by limiting the number of programs that start automatically. Basically all you need are the Microsoft items and your AV of choice at boot.
I don't use Spybot any longer so I can't speak to it's effectiveness.
There are many other cleaners that are dedicated to specific problems but are best left to be used with supervised experts.
The experts I speak of can be found over at Windows Seven Forums There you will find folks from around the world in the IT field that are willing to help with problems. I highly recommend this for issues or just learning about computers.
